Hi, Vince. Yes, I remember your talk at BLU a couple years ago, it was
informative.

I just reviewed your slides, and I was particularly interested in the
section on imaging. I've got a Ricoh IS100e scanner at work, and it
works great as far as scanning documents to pdf and emailing them
to myself.

However, I'm looking for a decent way to manage the resulting documents.
For now, I drop them manually into a folder on a web server and add
some basic metadata to a text file. Then I have a DirectoryIndex script
to display the pdf files and associated metadata.

What would you recommend for document management? I tried SDMS already
( http://sdms.cafuego.net ), but I was unable to get it to work under
apache 2.x.
